Re: PNW introducing new funding model
I think it's a good change. There is a lot of obfuscation in the traditional FIRST funding model, for both the donors and the participants. In my experience most people don't know that a relatively small fraction of their registration fee goes to running the district, and the district doesn't even get a cut of the DCMP fee. This change makes this fact more obvious to a larger group of people.

I still wouldn't mind paying for a third district event. At $1000 a third district is far and away the best value in FIRST.
